Weber Celebrates Thanksgving in “Turkey Trot and Hop”

Thanksgiving 2010, LAS VEGAS, NV—I eat, sleep, and talk Track and Field!  So my ideal Thanksgiving would be having the opportunity to run with a pack of Turkeys.  Running is always in the picture with me-Track Coach, Johnny Deltoid.  However, I am out in the desert in Las Vegas and there are no turkeys in sight!

I decided to celebrate Thanksgiving by hosting an event called “Turkey Trot and Hop” to satisfy my running desires.  Participants first run 200m all out on a grass course that ends on a hill.  Then, they take a 200m recovery jog.  Immediately after that they hop 200m on the same course.  They do the first 100m hop on their Left Leg and then the 2nd 100m on their Right Leg.  They then can compare times from their one-leg hopping abilities to two-leg sprint abilities.  It is an exciting evaluation in fast-twitch muscle fibers, biomechanics, and muscle stabilizers (since they will be used on the uneven grass surface, unlike on a track).  PLUS it is an “attracktive” way to spend Thanksgiving.

Alicia Weber, an Orlando, FL, personal trainer, world record holder, and champion runner gobbled up this event!

Watch Weber’s winning 200m run and 200m hop in the “Turkey Trot and Hop”

This is a good way to test the strength of your legs.  Happy Trails to you!

Oh, I just had to wake up on Thanksgiving morning and share with you my favorite stretch!  I do this stretch on a regular basis, but it is extra special on Thanksgiving!  If I was a turkey, I would be ruffling my feathers and going into a Turkey Dance with this Gobbly good stretch called the Turkey Shrug!!  This is a stretch perfect for the wild animals and it really works your muscles!!  It gets into your upper traps, neck, and chin!  It prevents neck wrinkles and I have given this stretch to clients that had a double chin and their double chin started to disappear after only a month of doing this exercise once a day!!  You just do 1-3 sets once a day or a couple times a week to reap the results!

Follow along in the video below and give this stretch a try and see how wild and awake you will feel!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Alicia Weber “The Machine” – World Records

By:  Alicia Weber Click here to visit JD Productions.

I was first nicknamed “The Machine” in high school when I would run and win cross country races and track and field races from sprint to long distances. I became a 2 x All-American in the 10,000 meters, while in high school at Junior Nationals and I medaled at National Championships in events from 1,500m -10,000 meter runs and 5k cross country.  The nickname of “The Machine” continues as I have over 400 world records in strength, speed, and endurance, and I am a professional fitness trainer.

I graduated from University of Florida where I was a letter winner in Track and Cross Country. I have B.S. degrees in Biology and Communication.  I was then in a Doctorate of Physical Therapy program to expand my specialty of aquatic therapy.  My clients also refer to me as “The Machine” as I train with each and every one of them to motivate them.  When I am not training people, I am training myself in world record setting or training for the 17 sports I compete in on an elite level.  I am really W-I-L-D  about exercise and physical fitness!!!

I must warn you though – I do have an alter ego and I get the urges at times to get off the athletic field and get ON STAGE!  I have been an entertainer for a variety of acts for years!   I am most known for my “One Woman Shows” where I combine “character comedy” with strength feats! I perform Live and I have a line of shows here.  Here’s a preview of my 7 character comedy show.

My creative energies carry over into other areas as well.  I am an author, illustrator, and poet.  I published my first book on marine biology and my second book on physical fitness is found here. You can learn more about me as the athlete here and as the fitness professional here.

Now, let’s crank the engine and see what a human performance machine can do…Below are my world records in over 27 categories of exercises (the exercise world records are listed alphabetically). I keep re-setting my own records and I garner new ones.

* NOTE:  Starting in 2012, I am setting world records exclusively with RecordSetter.com, the world’s fastest growing world record book where I also compete with men for overall world records.  I set over 50 world records for women with The Book of Alternative Records from 2008 -2011 – those records are listed below.  CLICK HERE for Alicia’s RecordSetter World Records.

VERY IMPORTANT: Below are my 60+ entries in the Book of Alternative Records from 2008-2011.  I will continue these categories now at RecordSetter, so to stay up with the latest records visit me at www.recordsetter.com/user/aliciaweber

Weber World Record Week!

By:  Weber Way to Wellness Reporter Click here to visit JD Productions.

During “Weber World Record Week” Sept 11th – Sept 17th,  Alicia Weber, with her high-energy levels,  garnered another 5 world records in a variety of physical fitness disciplines.

First, tackling the track on Saturday, Sept 11th, on a warm, windless, sunny day, she did jump rope running A.K.A rope skipping with her 1.5 lbs weighted speed jump rope (which makes the attempt more difficult).  Jump rope running makes running harder because the use of swinging arms is crucial in gaining speed in normal running and they can’t be used, since one is holding a jump rope.  Jump rope running is most effective when there is no wind.  She lowered her world record in the 400m and set a new world record in the 800m.

Next on Monday, Sept 13th, she redeemed herself on her previous failed attempt on Ring L position dips.  Alicia now captured the world record in Ring L position dips (considered the toughest type of dip).

Alicia does 4 Ring L Position Dips in a row within 1-minute for a new World Record.

On Tuesday, Sept 14th, she captured the world record in 3 minutes of deep squats where arms are held straight out and knees bend breaking parallel.  She tried 5 sets to the max and her best of 152 reps for deep squats is the new world record for 3 minutes.  The legs must bend and break parallel on every rep while the arms are held out straight throughout the whole exercise.  This is an extremely grueling exercise for the quads and glutes.  Alicia got sore quads and wobbly legs that lasted 2 days.  Alicia says, “I don’t recall ever getting this sore, and in particular, getting wobbly knees after an exercise.  My knees were wobbly for 2 days.  I had to watch my every move.  It is a new experience for me and after aquatic exercise recovery in a cooler water pool, I was back in the game!”

On Friday, Sept 17th ,  Alicia re-set her one arm pushup world record by completing 131 reps in 10-minutes.

Alicia Weber holds over 30 world records in strength and endurance.  She is featured in the record book “Believe the Unbelievable”.
